Is anyone here diabetic. I have been been recently diagnosed as 'insulin resistant' and put on Byetta which really, really curbs my appetite. To bad I can't stand up to weigh. What kind of exercises can I do since I am stuck in bed? My dr also said I should eat between 150 and 180 grams of protein a day and that means drinking those protein drinks but I would still have to drink four of them and they are not cheap. I don't have room in my stomach for normal meals and all of these protein liquids. I think he is not only treating my diabetes but preparing me for the lap-band surgery I want to get if the Bariatric Center here ever get Medicare approval. I know if I can lose some weight this diabetes will go away as I am hardly diabetic. Anyone here have the same problem, any ideas or suggestions? Thanks! Hildred in NC TM since '76
